Located at 3900 Harbor Dr., just one mile north of its former location, Sioux City Kenworth features convenient access to U.S. Interstate 29 via Exit 143 – Singing Hills Boulevard Exit.

The dealership also has a body shop with nine stalls, a wash bay, two paint booths, and a service truck for remote servicing and emergency roadside service. A lounge with recliners, satellite television, work spaces, and vending machines provides drivers with a comfortable place to relax and catch up on correspondence and paperwork while their trucks are serviced.
